New reports cite Obama's African 'home'
Ghana newspaper calls Africa 'continent of his birth'
An African news site and an MSNBC broadcaster have delivered new references to President Obama's birthplace as being outside of the United States, even as a controversy has developed over a letter purporting to be from the president claiming Kapi'olani hospital in Honolulu as his birth location.
Network correspondent Mara Schiavocampo was reporting on the celebratory atmosphere in Accra, Ghana, immediately prior to Obama's visit to the west African nation today.
Interviewing a person who appeared to be a shop operator, she suggested, "Barack Obama is Kenyan … but Ghanaians are still proud of him."
The video of the report is at this link.
Her report talks about the party atmosphere and the Obama fan clubs who has posted "Welcome home" signs.
"Although this may seem insignificant, it clearly stated an assumption about Obama's heritage that is clearly understood by African citizens and NBC as well," a WND reader said.
Meanwhile, a report at Modern Ghana also posted in advance of the president's visit cited his birthplace on the continent of Africa.
"For Ghana, Obama's visit will be a celebration of another milestone in African history as it hosts the first-ever African-American president on this presidential visit to the continent of his birth," the report said.

Of course he was born there. You know he got "foreign student" aid to get into Harvard? Excuse me? How does an American citizen get "foreign student" aid? It boggles the mind how this all just is shoved under the rug. This man is a fraud and a cheat. At least Bush owned up to his mistakes and acted like a human being!

The caption under the picture says his father was an African immigrant? He father never immigrated here, he was a foreign exchange student. Interesting how those in Africa know where he was born. I believe that those in power on both sides of the aisle, including SCOTUS, know he wasn't born on American soil but won't do a thing about it for fear of riots in the streets.

Amen, BobF, one huge conspiracy, and the majority of Americans are ignorant of this fact. Posted by: Mark at July 12, 2009 12:41 PM
There may be riots in the streets for more than his lack of citizenship. There may be riots over his Marxist economic and social policies. And I may be one of the rioters. Posted by: TomR at July 12, 2009 07:52 PM
